1998 Honda 300ex Backfires, Stalls, Runs Hot I own a 1998 Honda 300ex The last two times I rode, probably for about an hour,I shut it off for ten or fifteen minutes and when I went to ride again it backfires and then stalls out. Also the motor seems incredibly hot.Then if I let it sit for a long time it starts and runs fine.Can anyone tell me what might be causing this and what will fix it? Thanks a lot!

re: 1998 Honda 300ex Backfires, Stalls, Runs Hot Might want to check your spark plug and possibly need a rejetting, seems like you might be running too lean but Im not too sure.

Re: 1998 Honda 300ex Backfires, Stalls, Runs Hot Check/Replace the plug as mentioned above & check the air filter. Check for any air leaks also. It still may be your carb though.* Added year, make, model, and issue into thread title.
